2 2 - Changing world, changing church Aim: to explore how the rise of consumerism and networking have affected our culture and how the church might respond. Culture is About consumerism Critiquing consumerism Networks Quote - A faithful Church is continually shaped by its inner dynamic: the flow of Apostolic Tradition, with Scripture as its norm The Church is, however, also shaped by the kind of world in which it finds itself. This must mean a constant receiving of the Gospel into our particular context. (Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester) I have a friend Five values of missionary church Church for my friend RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SESSION TWO Share the Guide - Fresh expressions reach out to post-modern society Changing World, Changing Church, Michael Moynagh, Monarch Books, 2001 ISBN Exiles: living missionally in a post Christian culture, Michael Frost, Hendrickson, Church after Christendom, Stuart Murray, Paternoster, Church Next, Eddie Gibbs and Ian Coffey, IVP, Page 2
3 3 - Re-imagining church: community Aim: to explore the need for fresh expressions of church to be community-focused Where do you belong? Me spirituality Acts 2: a rewrite Community within the church Quote - The only hermeneutic of the gospel is a congregation of men and women who believe it and live by it. The church is to be the primary agent of mission and if it does not exhibit evident community and transformed lives then any amount of evangelistic events and church projects will have limited credibility. (Lesslie Newbigin, The Gospel in a Pluralist society.) Open to community around us RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SESSION THREE Share the Guide - God works through communities and The IN dimension of church Messy Church, Lucy Moore, BRF, 2006 ISBN: ( ).

4 4 - Re-imagining church: worship Aim: to explore how fresh expressions of church are re-imagining worship What is worship? Creative worship? Experiencing creative worship - my thoughts Quote - Our research work on fresh expressions of church, not least those starting to reach people furthest away from the existing church, has found this to be the single most important lesson we have learnt. Until outsiders see in the communal lives of Christians something they admire, almost nothing else can happen. It is also true for more and more Christians that in the end, quality community is what keeps them going - more than cool worship or exciting mission. (George Lings, Church Army) Changing worship Creating worship RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SESSION FOUR Share the Guide - The UP dimension of church 50 Worship Ideas for small groups, Townend and Lewis, Kingsway, 2000 ISBN: Emerging Churches, Eddie Gibbs and Ryan K Bolger, SPCK, 2006 ISBN: The Church on the Other Side: Doing Ministry in the Postmodern Matrix, Brian McLaren, Zondervan, 2000 ISBN: Christianity Rediscovered, Vincent Donovan, Orbis, 1978 ISBN: Page 4
5 5 - Re-imagining church: leadership and discipleship Aim: to explore the type of leadership needed in fresh expressions of church and how to facilitate discipleship Valuing creativity Leadership in a fresh expression of church Quote - Do not try to call [people] back to where they were, and do not try to call them to where you are, as beautiful as it may seem to you. You must have the courage to go with them to a place that neither you nor they have ever been before.
